My family's most requested dessert for birthdays and special occasions! Those who prefer moist and fluffy cakes will be disappointed: this cake is all about dense and intense, with a magnificent crust that might strike you as dry if you're looking for soft. I adore the texture and flavor of this cake; that it's gorgeous and dead easy to make is just icing on top.

great tasting cake! I love hazelnuts so I added nutella to the glaze as well as made a middle using marscapone cheese, powdered sugar and fangelico. Split the cake in half and spread. This one's a keeper.

This is incredible-lots of flavor and not too sweet. I used almonds; pistachio or pecans would also be quite good. In fact, maybe even peanuts would make an interesting variation. This one is definitely a keeper.
